ONE OF THE OLD GUARD.

= The wheel of political fate is fruitful
in bringing about new results. The time
was not long ago when, with an excep-
tion or two, the Democrats who are
offering the government land offices in
western Kansas had no possible use for
this region. While these fellows felt
this way there were newspapers which
weathered the western storms through
the long crisis. These papers have gen.
orally been ignored by the Democratic
land officers in the placing of notices for
publication. OF the decency of such q
course, we leave the settlers, whose right
even to suggest the paper of their prefer
ence for the publication of their own
notices is denied, to determine. But we
were going to say that Fl. A. Yonge, who
has recently been appointed register of
the land Office at Kirwin, has made the
Phillipsburg Herald, Republican paper,
the final-proof organ in Phillips county.
The Herald is one of the old-guard jour-
mails.

MAY PROVE COSTLY.

Last winter Ihe Kansas legislature
failed to provide funds to properly sus-
tain the Livestock Sanitary Board and
the State Veterinarian. This was not
nearly SO much from lack of interest in
the livestock industry as from the fact
that several of the penny royal statesmen
had conceived dislike for certain gen.
tleman they were pleased to call "the
State COW DOCTOR and whom they
imagined it their dignifed duty to
"down" in some way. This was accom-
plished by withholding appropriations.
One of the earliest results visible is that
as Kansas has refused to protect it's
stock, other States, like Colorado, are
likely to quarantine at any time against
Kansas stock-an event that may cost
single individual breeders more money
than it would take to maintain a good
system of veterinary inspection and COM
petent, vigilant oversight for the ensu-
ing two years. This was something more
guished member from Kohosh liked or
disliked DIR. Holcomb, but the member"
was too much exalted above common
COW doctor to see it. The member
enjoyed his brief dance of authority, and
Kansas stockmen will likely be called on
later to literally remunerate the must
cian.-[ K. c. Lie Stock Indicator.
We are glad to be able to say to the
Indicator that we were not s'the distin-
guished member from Kohosh." We
felt then as the Indicator feels now, and
SO expressed ourself. The main question
should not have been whether DR.. Hol-
comb would be kept in Office, but whether
the livestock interests of Kansas, and
especially those of the western part of
the state, could afford to be placed in
jeopardy for the small sum which was
called for to sustain the Live Stock
Sanitary Board.

CUISINES MEM"

There are cuisines men" who, rathel
than accept 300 posters at the price O
800, would send to New York for them
but, when its comes to putting their ad
vertisements in newspaper, they never
seem to care whether it is printed in two
hundred papers or two thousand. Ar
advertiser has just the same right to
know how many papers his advertisement
will be printed in as the purchaser of a

anime the coffee before he pays for it

Advertising is science. This science is
yet in its infancy. New points of advan-
tage are developing constantly, and be-
ing taken advantage of by the sagacious
business man. It does look, though, like
the point raised by the Free Press is SO
plain on its face that any business man
would instinctively comply with it.

PATENT ISSUED.

There has been considerable opposi-
ton to the Tribune Greeley county,
Town Site Company getting spatent for
their land. This opposition has had the
effect of retarding, in measure, the pros
perity of the place. The anxiety of the
Town Site Company has been of no low
order. Last winter an attempt was made
10 get the legislature to pass a bill COM
pelling the issue Of patent, on the ground
that the money had been paid for the
(schooD land to the state. The bill passed
the house, but failed to reach the senate.
The state officers have concluded to issue
a patent for the land, and now Tribune
is happy.

LIVE STOCK INCONSISTENCY,

LIVE STOCK INCONSISTENCY.
When cattle were twenty dollars round
nearly everybody wanted cattle. Now
when they can be had for less than half
that figure, hardly anybody wants cattle.
When sheep were three or four dollars
per head, nearly everybody wanted sheep.
When they got down to dollar very few
people wanted them, and those few were
regarded as lunatics. Now that sheep
are going up again, inquiry for them is
on the increase. 1t will be the same way
with cattle. They are offered much be-
go higher. Everybody admits this, but
for some reason we never heard explained,
they prefer to wait till they go up few
dollars before they buy. This is not true
of everybody. Even now, we know men
who are straining their credit to the last
notch in cattle and grass for them to eat.
They will make the money that some
body else has lost, and will be called
lucky. In this world, luck and sense are
SO very intimately blended that it is hard
to draw between them the line of de-
markation.- San antonio Stockman.
AS steady exponent of stock-farming,
the World appreciates thoroughly this
article from the .Stockman. It is evident,
from the trustees returns this spring,
that there is not to-day as much live
stock in Trego county as there.wa one
year ago. This is all wrong. There
should be much more. Why? Because
this region is valueless as farming dis
trict, unless the people keep stock to
which to feed their farm products.
Farming and stock growing blended
will make it the wealthiest portion of the
state. We will supplement this state
ment by adding that in central and
eastern Kansas the farmers who make
the money are those who handle live
stock.
Cattle are cheap here now. They have
been SO for two years or longer. They
can not remain so permanently. It
follows that now is the time to buy. It
requires courage, it is true, to buy when
the current to sell is under full Roadway.
But our people should wheel about face
promptly in this matter if for no other
reason than that, as low as the prices of
cattle are now, there is more money in
handling them in connection with farm
ing than there is in straight farming.
This warning, of which we are aware
many of our settlers are not in need, is
timely for such as do need it. The man
who refuses to hold his cattle now, or to
buy because they are cheap, will put
himself up as a. laughing target one of
these times by joining the throng of buy
ers at high prices.

TEXTBOOK UNIFORMITY.

County Superintendent Baker is de-
sirous that, at the school elections on the
last Thursday in this month, the people
of every district in Trego county vote in
behalf of uniformity of text books.
Mr. Baker describes elsewhere in this
issue the method to be pursued in secur-
ing a uniformity of text books.
In the imparting of education system
is essential to even moderate success.
Parents are. by law, made the arbiters
of the educational fortunes of their chill
.dren. Such dignity should not be worn
unthoughtedly. On the one hand, good
schools are never taught by poor teach
ers. On the other hand, many poor
schools are taught by good teachers, as a
natural result of a variety Of text books
of the same branches being forced upon
them. A teacher has the time to hear
only certain number of recitations. IF,
therefore, he is compelled to hear twice
as many as would be necessary under a
different order Of things, his work can be
done but indiferently.
There is no good reason why country
school should not be just as efficient as
any other. The people have it in their
power to take an essential step in the
direction of making them so. VIII they
do it?

Something New.

Outsiders frequently wonder where the
railroads obtain proper return for some
of the ingenious but costly methods
adopted in advertising their lines. One
of the latest to attract our attention is
a nicely bound 64-page book entitled,
"What to do containing descriptions and
the correct rules Of a large number OF
games suitable for parlor or lawn, which
has been issued by the Passenger De-
partment of the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba Railway, and will, we under.
stand be forwarded postpaid upon receipt
of 8 cents by G. II. Warner, General Pas
senger Agent, at st. Paul. It is a book
that would ornament almost any table
and interest both old and young.
